Camberley had a population of around 30,000 at the 2021 census, a Surrey town whose name is younger than it looks and was chosen to avoid a mix-up.
The town renamed to avoid confusion with Cambridge
Camberley grew up in the 19th century around the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, and was originally known as Cambridge Town. To avoid confusion with the university city of Cambridge, the town was renamed Camberley in 1877 — making it, unusually for an English town, a place whose name was deliberately invented rather than inherited from centuries of history.
What that history doesn't leave behind
Camberley's military-town roots don't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Camberley shoppers order online anyway
For anything past a corner-shop bag, ordering online is the more consistent option — rather than a trip out to Woking or Guildford for a wider selection.
